Dodge Charger SRT 392 Diminished Value Case Study – Pasadena, TX
This article details the diminished value appraisal of a Dodge Charger SRT 392 with 31,259 miles involved in a rear-end collision that caused $11,843.98 in damage. The vehicle was not disabled or towed, had no structural damage, and no airbag deployment.
The claimant hired an independent auto appraiser and filed a third-party inherent auto diminished value claim for the vehicle’s loss in value.
Once a car is repaired after a collision, it is worth less — often much less — depending on the severity of the damage. Regardless of repair quality, a previously wrecked car sells for less than an identical accident-free vehicle. Obtaining a comprehensive Diminished Value Report from a Texas licensed auto adjuster is key.
